last year's community poetry game sample poems

Remember that each of these lines were contributed by different people and chosen randomly for each poem. You will notice that many of them were inspired by the location at the Natural History Museum.


Nature Magic

What do butterflies dream and do their dreams flutter-by?
Poppies orange as marmelade sweeten the air.
Bright bobcat, you move into the interior like I do, totem.
The frogs call like carnival barkers.
Willow stick, willow stick, stick, stick, Ouch House-Ah!
Owl with outstretched arms, I want to wear you.



Flowing Spaces

Water flowing down my spine
Consciously creating unknown spaces to move within
Sounds of music fill the air, The sounds make shapes
that linger when the music is gone
supporting and cushioning the energy outward
when the trees sway, they play
like the people

We are All Connected

I hear beautiful music amdist the trees and colorful works of art
how do you keep flowing?
Ancient Life, we are all connected
The water is cold, but the granola bar is great
apples, a yellow basket, and paintings
people have beautiful stories
